Kim Weston is a long time Barks fan and scholar who has contributed to Mike Barrier's magazine, Funnyworld, as well as the Barks Bibliography, and the book, Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book. He was a contributor to the Celestial Arts book, Uncle Scrooge McDuck: His Life and Times, and to Another Rainbow's Carl Barks Library. He has contributed Barks and Disney information to the Overstreet Price Guide and is a contributor to Fantagraphics Books' ongoing series of The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library. And he scripted The Ultimate Barks Collector gag page drawn by Walter Simonson. Recently he has been contributing to The Carl Barks Fan Club Pictorial, and he has also written occasionally on Barks' work for the past 45+ years, contributing to Barks and Disney scholarship mostly for a small audience in an Amateur Press Alliance. That is where he commissioned Jack L. Chalker to write the article which was first published in that Amateur Press Alliance and which was later expanded to become Chalker's book, An Informal Biography of Scrooge McDuck. That work was one of the influences that later inspired Don Rosa to do his own comic book series, the well-loved Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. He has authored and recently published The Unavailable Carl Barks (in color), a book which, when combined with Craig Yoe and IDW's The Carl Barks Big Book of Barney Bear, brings back into print all of the non-Disney comic book stories written and/or drawn by Carl Barks. He also published an incomplete version of the Carl Barks Index keyed to the 10 Fantagraphics Carl Barks volumes reprinting the complete Barks' Disney comic books from December 1946 to March 1953, plus the first 12 issues of Uncle Scrooge, extending that part of Barks' work to June 1955. That index IS complete for the 10 Fantagraphics books, volumes 5-14; but another 20 books remain to be printed in that series over the next decade, before the series is completed. See less
